    Child seat conundrum - help needed

    Hello all

    I have child number 3 on the way but need to have 2 booster seats and a baby capsule across the back seat and they just dont fit because of the type of boosters we have.

    Has anyone had any luck with any brand of seat that fit.

    My wife has even started talking about replacing the 07 Passat wagon
    with a Falcon!

    needless to say I am hoping one of you has the answer to save the Passat.

    Abortion? lol OK, bad joke...

    I know there are three anchor points but I agree that it would be difficult to fit three across the back seat. But I can't imagine they would have three anchor points if there wasn't a solution out there...

    Try having a look at this thread - I had a play around with some at the time to answer someone else's question: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ght=child+seat

    For our Passat, we've gone for the Safe-n-Sound Compaq Deluxe, convertible, suitable from birth to 18kg, and (as the name suggests), a little smaller than most to suit smaller cars. Admittedly we're not trying to fit three in for now (need to get #1 and 2 done first)...

    can't see it working!! the Falcodore would be better BUT only slightly. You may have to look at a minivan of some sort. The days may be numbered....

    Lose the wife!!! (Just for the suggestion)

    Then one of the booster seats can go in the front (with the airbag turned off of course)
